This 25-month project will support a feminist response and recovery for the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Righting Relationships Canada will achieve this by strengthening a national women-led network of adult educators, community organizers and non-profits working together to affect systemic change on critical human rights issues in the country, particularly as it relates to Gender Based Violence.

At the end of the project, the organization will have cultivated 6 women-led, Pan-Canadian adult education Change Labs. These Change Labs will be a space for team members with lived experience across the country to come together, deconstruct and critically analyze the issues at hand, and work to identify root causes and key strategies for short- and long-term change. The learnings and outcomes from these labs will contribute to the development of tools and resources for education and policy.

This projects effort will advance women’s voices and leadership in decision making, influence policies and practises towards full inclusion, and challenge norms and attitudes that traditionally exclude. Participants will build and dissemination an outreach strategy to share learnings with key stakeholders and the non-profit sector and create intersections and establish connections across Canada.

This 28-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Ryerson University will achieve this by 1) analyzing City of Toronto’s disaggregated data, 2) identifying data gaps that will support the development of programs and policies aimed at addressing racialized women’s poverty in Toronto, and 3) by building women's capacity for economic empowerment and advocacy in two geographic neighborhoods. The project aims to influence and inform public policy responses in the City of Toronto’s pandemic recovery planning by building City of Toronto municipal government staff capacity in the use of GBA+ to advance more inclusive policies, programs and building social infrastructure that will support gender equality; and by assessing the feasibility of using this project as a pilot to develop a methodological framework for the City of Toronto’s Gender Equity Strategy.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices; encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources; increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change; and supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power to support women’s equality.

This project will work with partners, including the City of Toronto’s Economic Development and Culture Division, Social Development, Finance and Administration Division, the Gender Equity Unit, academia, women community leaders, activists and community organizations in the field to foster collaboration, lead dissemination and increase uptake of system policy and program recommendations to address racialized women’s poverty in Toronto.

This 28-month project will support a feminist response to and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic changes. To achieve this, Accès transports viables intends to tackle systemic barriers to women’s mobility by establishing a space for dialogue that engages with community organizations and individuals who work in mobility. It will also carry out organized collective action to create a profile of women’s specific needs in mobility and urban planning. The information collected will then be used to raise awareness among decision-makers and the general public about mobility issues experienced by women. Accès transport viables also intends to build the knowledge and capacity of community organizations who wish to get involved in fighting discrimination against women in the transport sector and to share its expertise with municipal-level actors so they can better respond to women’s specific needs in mobility and urban planning.

À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à l’élimination d’obstacles systémiques en promouvant des politiques et pratiques inclusives, en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, en soutenant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel à l’appui de l’égalité des femmes.

Plus spécifiquement, Accès transports viables, en collaboration avec ses partenaires, entre autres le Comité pour un transport accessible et abordable à Québec (TRAAQ), Vivre en ville, Jalon Montréal et le Regroupement des groupes de femmes de la région de la Capitale-Nationale (RGF-CN), compte créer et diffuser de nouvelles connaissances sur les enjeux de mobilité vécues par les femmes, intégrant les réalités diversifiées des femmes et celles des femmes à l'intersection des rapports sociaux, et, partager les meilleures pratiques en matière d'aménagements urbains sécuritaires, inclusifs et conviviaux auprès du milieu communautaire et municipal.

This 22-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. New North SANC Services Inc will achieve this by addressing the underrepresentation of Indigenous women and other marginalized voices in leadership roles and positions of authority and will create regional coalitions to mobilize greater political participation in northern municipal, regional, and provincial governments.
The project will conduct governance workshops to grow awareness of unconscious biases that inform decision-making processes, form coalitions among Indigenous women groups and equity seeking organizations to build a network of peer support groups and sharing circles to identify the issues that are creating barriers to participation by Indigenous women in northern Saskatchewan communities.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.

The organization will engage with grass roots organizations, women’s coalition, indigenous women, local and regional government to develop equity-based toolkits for local and regional use. Success will be measured by the number of organizations and governments that adopt the practices put forth by the project and the increase of women in leadership positions and diversity of those seeking political office in the region over time.
